LSU students charged with hazing, negligent homicide in freshmen death case

A 20-year-old MA man faces misdemeanor charges along with nine of his fraternity brothers in the Louisiana death of a pledge pressured to recklessly overdrink, reports NECN. According to LSU, all ten students were to be booked with hazing while one of them, Matthew Alexander Naquin, would be booked with negligent homicide charges in connection to Gruver's death.

His blood alcohol content was.495%, and his cause of death is "acute alcohol intoxication with aspiration".

Phi Delta Theta said the suspects have been removed from the fraternity.

Gruver died at a Baton Rouge hospital on September 14 after fraternity members found him lying on a couch at the fraternity house and couldn't tell if he was breathing, police said.

According to the reports filed in court, "Bible Study" meant Phi Delta Theta pledges had to drink if they incorrectly answered questions about the fraternity during a gathering the night before 18-year-old Gruver died. A lengthy police investigation determined Naquin was "was the most aggressive by far during the hazing event", according to a report cited by WWL. He died at a hospital later that day.

While most of the pledges at that night's "Bible Study" were only told to drink three or four "pulls" - or three-to-five second swigs - of the alcohol, Gruver was told to drink 10-12 "pulls".

Police executed search warrants at the fraternity house and at Gruver's dorm room. She says they are proponents of 'see something, say something'. "We do the recognition and the education with the new members as well, the next step is reporting it".

Eight of the young men are current students at Louisiana State University.
